We seriously avoid putting any silicone product on the engine. If a small amount gets squeezed into the interior and breaks off it may get into an oil passage and then you have a mess.

I have used this for installing a leaky primary cover and it has worked well for a couple of years. Apply thinly, allow it to set up, install.



Check the spec's. I believe that it is not silicone. It was recommended highly to me.
